Tonight Cailee and I spent some time together. First we got dressed up and then went to the fancy place called IHOP. (I was glad it wasn't her favorite place, McDonald's)
She was pretty excited to get the happy face pancake. I think it was twice as big as her head. She ate all the whipped cream and chocolate chips off the top. She has started doing a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' when she can't talk. 'Thumbs up' was because she liked the cream.
When she tried the chocolate pancake she didn't like it. The nice waitress brought her a regular pancake with chocolate chips and she ate that one pretty good.
Our next stop was the Queen Creek Performing Arts Center. Nick's cousin Shannon and her hubby Curtis dance on the BYU Ballroom Dance Team. Since they were performing so close to us, we were able to get tickets to go see them. What a great show! I have never been to a ballroom dance performance before and I loved it! They were fabulous!
This is Cailee with Shannon after the concert. The lighting makes them look like racoons... They didn't look like that up close! And Cailee said this was her favorite costume. I liked it, too. I remember thinking throughout the concert that "This dance is my favorite." "No, I love this one." "I have to tell her I like this one best." Of course I can't remember which one I liked the most because they were all great!
We had to get a picture with both Curtis and Shannon. I wish the lighting was better for my little phone camera. I'm just glad I have something to show Cailee a few years down the road to remind her where we were. She was VERY good during the whole thing. When the first dance began, she sat up on the edge of her seat and was enthralled with what she saw. She was very excited with a lot of dances. The slower ones she had a hard time with for a few minutes, but overall she was great!
After we left, she kept trying to tell me about the place where we got ice cream that one time after swimming at Queen Creek, TWO summers ago. She eventually got out that it was Dairy Queen. So after the show, we stopped and got her a blizzard and took one home for Nick and Ashton who were still awake. They went out and had their own boys night while, Brookie was at a sleepover with Cassidy.
It was a very fun evening. So glad we were able to see Shannon and Curtis!
